Bottle on B is a nice touch.

The phrase "let go" is definitely PR speak. It makes it sound less aggressive than "fired" or "terminated".

I have heard arguments that "fired" has the implication that the employee is at fault and did something bad, but the argument is weak.

Gotta pay for that shark skin somehow.

Fairly common. Setting up proper permissions in AWS isn't always straightforward and getting permissions to properly integrate with an app can be confusing. I have worked with a lot of people who don't care about doing things right and only care about making something that works.

That's like $600 of wasted ink.

A thing to keep in mind is that a lot of tech companies still think people are more productive in the office and force you to come in, despite having metrics that say otherwise.

Trump is absolutely doing that. Did you completely ignore Trump's "homegrown" statement?

There are quite a few in this genre that haven't been updated in years. It's a bit of a shame, really.

You are quite ignorant yourself.

Executive compensation is ALWAYS a question that is voted on during shareholder meetings. Guess who owns majority stock?

It's not officially written anywhere, but multiple scanlation groups have stated such a rule. It is usually a courtesy thing and looked down upon to scanlate a series someone else is working on since scanlation takes a lot of work, and as you said these people are volunteers so they are unpaid.

What OP is saying is a real problem though. Sometimes there are really poor translations and due to this courtesy other groups will avoid working on the same series.

I agree with the OP here. Courtesy is one thing, but if your scanlations were superior in the first place there wouldn't need to be competing translators. As with all art, you want to put the best foot forward and do the art piece justice when presenting it. Many of these scanlations are straight up lazy, and others are downright damaging the original work.

Because people who oppose trans rights (or the rights of anyone for that matter) are fundamentally going to be pricks. This statistic is not solely about trans rights. Smart people with any sense of self preservation just don't want to date bigots and assholes.

This whole thing is hilarious once you know that RuneScape passwords were case-insensitive until they recently switched over to Jagex accounts instead of RuneScape accounts.

The Stronghold of Security was created because they didn't want to, or couldn't, address the fundamentally weak security the game itself provided.
